Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
Am Am/G D/F# G/B F(add9)
And let's face it, who isn't, less fortunate than I?
F/Eb Eb Eb/Db Db C(add9)
My tender heart tends to start to bleed
Am Am/G D/F# G/B C(add9)
And when someone needs a makeover I simply have to take over
Ab(add9) Bb(add9)/Ab Gsus2(add9) G
I know I know exactly what they need
Gm C
And even in your case
Am7 D/F#
Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face

Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed
